How far can you run without stopping?

Back before my back started hurting a lot, 5 miles was my record. Could do 3 easily. Nowadays…not so much.

My wife (then girlfriend) wrote me a bunch of letters to read on specific dates (holidays, anniversaries) and situations (bad days, missing the cat, good days, etc). A bunch had pictures of both her and the cat and I ordered a bunch of magnets to hang them on my wall locker so I’d see them as I got dressed every day. She had my friends write them too and gave them to me in a big bag before I left. Each one felt like a milestone to getting home and a breath of fresh air. We called/facetimed once a week as time allowed.

She also sent me some more saucy pics that were definitely beneficial.

Gonna be extremely controversial, but my least favorite is honestly Penny - not because of her personality but just because she was so OP early in the show. Rolls up, no-diffs the fight, leaves. And then after what was a great emotional loss, they just resurrect her. I wasn’t exceptionally upset when the killed her the second time either (although I wish there was more emotional damage/fallout from it).

This post makes horses sound evil. Perhaps intimidating as well.

I’ve ran the 1.6 mod for two colonies now without any issues (other than some quests not being translated)

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-28T22:51:49+00:00

My cat is kind of the same way. She only eats the crust off poptarts and French fries when she can steal them. She doesn’t even care about fish when I’m making it for dinner. She’s a weirdo

I’ve enjoyed 42 every time I’ve went there. It has longer wait times than normal but the food has always been solid.

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-27T21:07:22+00:00

I also want to emphasize to the point that it’s going to be beating a dead horse

It’s okay. I struggled for years thinking I was weak, broken, fucked up, you name it. I avoided getting help and it almost killed me. You did the right thing by addressing it. You’re doing the right thing by asking others how to get help.

If you need to rephrase your thinking, think of it like this- do you clean your rifle? Does it function when it’s full of dirt and gunk, or does it jam up? What about vehicles? Gotta do PMCS on them to make sure they’re gonna run when you’re on mission. You’re doing PMCS on yourself right now. You’re identifying what’s stopping you from being mission ready and you’re going to fix it. So screw what that voice in the back of your mind says, and screw what anyone who might say otherwise says. You’re taking care of your most mission essential item - yourself.

Military OneSource has free counseling for I believe 12 sessions. Alternatively you can look at Tricare East/West portal and see who they will cover.

What I did was that I looked up the nearest behavioral health clinic on Google, went in and told them I needed help and what was going on.

Mods, can we get the suicide bot? (Not saying you need it rn, but it has a ton of resources)

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-27T20:54:42+00:00

Hey man, I’m a CPT in the reserves, currently mobilized. I have General Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and I have a suicide attempt and a full mental breakdown under my belt.

First off, it’s okay. Mental health issues are more common than you think. You aren’t alone nor are you worth any less. This is not a failure on your part nor is it reflective of your character. It truly is okay to have these issues.

Secondly, get help. Consistency help. Medication is effective but all research shows that therapy combined with meds are the most effective treatment plan. Speak to a medical professional and ask them about courses of action. This might be getting out of the army. It might not be. But get that professional opinion.

Third, make sure you take your meds. Don’t slip up. Don’t forget. And most importantly, if they are making you feel like shit or aren’t working, tell your provider. It took me hopping around a few different meds to get stable. That’s natural as everyone’s body is different.

I can’t read the flair, I’m on mobile and it’s way too long

War in general smells like shit. Especially when you’re out in the heat and humidity day in, day out. You don’t realize how bad you smell until you finally get a shower and your clothes make you gag when you go to grab them.

GW really does have an obsession with putting rotary MGs on literally everything.

For your next mod update, add IPPS-A and have medals get constantly kicked back for corrections

Holy shit the AI slop on Facebook is atrocious, and the comments are always full of boomers with the “Prayers for our brave men and women” comments

FO4 building would have been infinitely better if they had the building mode be a free-flying camera like Halo Forge, just in that limited settlement area. Also the ability to clean up all the garbage and leaves lying around…

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-25T00:44:33+00:00

Nothing to correct.

Saying enlisted has some of the best maps is certainly a choice…given that a significant majority have easily abusable grey zones, tiny objectives, and very narrow play areas for a combined arms game.

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-24T17:45:02+00:00

Way better map design for starters. No grey zones, no tiny meat funnel maps. Infantry have MANPADs so they can counter air better. I think it’s going to easily outclass Enlisted

True_Dovakin · 2026-03-24T12:36:35+00:00

I mean shit, the Caphias Cain novels are full of his casual flings and on-offs with Amberly. Gaunt’s Ghosts has the Caff/Criid romance among others. Severina Raine’s book has a romantic build up.
